TOP STORY
We Are All Ukrainians Now BY FRANK RIZZO
frizzo@antonmediagroup.com
T
he Russian invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24 set off repercussions that were felt at the geopolitical level—and as close as the neighborhood gas pump. The war has also brought a heightened awareness of that historical area and unprecedented support for Ukraine in general and the estimated (per the Bureau of the Census) 5,200 residents of Ukrainian descent in Nassau County, many of whom still have relatives and friends in that troubled land, On March 8, the Town of Oyster Bay held a candlelight vigil for peace and a donation drop off at St. Josaphat’s Monastery in Lattingtown, longtime home to a Basilian order of the Ukrainian Catholic Church. Dozens of people showed up at the historic site, which began life as Gold Coast mansion back in the early 20th century. Many sang the Ukrainian national anthem in their native tongue. Oyster Bay Supervisor Joseph Saladino said he came up with the idea to hold the vigil because, as he told Anton Media Group, “It’s so important to show hope, to show support, and to pray for the people of this independent nation. We want to provide an opportunity for everyone to come together and help the people of Ukraine. We feel as though this collection drive of clothes, food, medical supplies and resources will be very important as one of many steps to help people through this most crucial time.” Asked about the logistics of getting the supplies to those in need, Saladino said there’s a depot in New Jersey that delivers materials to countries that border Ukraine. “What’s happening is that refugees are coming in trains and then the trains are going back with supplies,” the supervisor explained. He added, “My heart was torn seeing a picture of a mother and her children dead in the street, gunned down purposefully. It is outrageous, the war crimes that are going on. It hearkens back to the 1940s, one of the most terrifying times in world history.” Saladino was joined by Oyster Bay Councilwoman Michele Johnson, Receiver of Taxes Jeff Pravato, Clerk Rich LaMarca and Daniel Alter, representing Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman. From the dais hung a blue and gold Ukrainian flag gifted by the Ukrainian Embassy, “Words are difficult because the emotions surrounding this tragedy run so deep,” Saladino said in his remarks. “That’s why each and every one of you have come out this evening, The people of Ukraine have undergone unfathomable chaos due to the invasion of their country and it’s changed their lives forever.” After noting that more than 2 million refugees have escaped the chaos by finding havens in neighboring countries such as Poland, Romania and Slovakia, Saladino drew

Gymnast Sensation
Sirota Wins Third Straight All-Around County Title BY JOE SCOTCHIE jscotchie@antonmediagroup.com
R
oslyn High School senior Shani Sirota is the top female gymnast in Nassau County. In fact, she may be the top female athlete Roslyn High School has produced since the track and field legend Emily Lipari. Sirota clinched her top position with an amazing performance last month at the State Qualifier and Nassau County Individual County Championship at Roslyn High School. Sirota qualified for the state tournament by sweeping the All-Around, the Vault, the Uneven Bars, the Balance Beam and the Floor Exercise titles. Her commanding performance earned her All-Around champion honors for the third consecutive year. Other gymnasts, we can be sure, will be glad to see Sirota graduate this spring. For the weekend, Sirota scored a 37.80 in the All-Around, a 9.525 on the Vault, 9.45 on the Uneven Bars, 9.50 on the Balance Beam and 9.325 in the Floor Exercise. On March 5, Sirota traveled to Buffalo to compete in the state finals. She was joined by fellow members of the Nassau County state team: Allie Jacobs, Leah Chin and Jenna Kolberg all of Syossset, plus Alyssa Sanborn and Mariussa Schlossman of Plainview-Old Bethpage and Lyla Murphy of Massapequa.
“She’s such a calm, cool competitor,” Roslyn coach Stephanie Ofini told the media. “She just practices the way she’s going to compete. She’s here smiling and having a great time. Sirota excels in the classroom as well. Recently, she was selected by News 12 Long Island as their Scholar Athlete of the Week. She was interviewed by Kevin Maher for a segment that ran last month on News 12. Sirota was also presented with a check for $1,000. Sirota’s numbers this year were nearly identical to her championship performance in 2021. That year, her All-Around total was 38.07. Sirota took first place in the Vault (9.62), the Beam (9.50) and the Floor (9.68.) What did you think of this story? Share it with me at jscotchie@antonmediagroup.com

Leaf Blowers Statute Under Debate BY JOE SCOTCHIE jscotchie@antonmediagroup.com
At the most recent Village of East Hills Board of Trustees meeting, village officials took up a statute prohibiting gas-powered leaf blowers. The ban, if adopted, would extend from June 15 of this year to September 15. The meeting simply introduced the statue. For now, village officials are glad to consider any output from local residents. “We always appreciate getting the pulse of our community on the subject of leaf blowing and look forward to an informative dialogue on gas leaf blowing,” said East Hills Mayor Michael Koblenz. Such comments, Koblenz added, can be sent through the village’s Instant Access Network Program Koblenz said that a date for the next information hearing has not been set,
but interested residents can watch the Village’s website for further announcements. Experts on both sides will be invited to attend a future meeting and offer their expertise on the subject. Village officials have laid out the pros and cons. Such a ban, for instance, would be more environmentally friendly by eliminating the fumes and smoke. It would also “create far less noise and provide more quietude for the residents in the village,” while placing a reliance on electric leaf blowers which “weigh less, get the job done faster, and are cheaper. On the negative side, village officials acknowledge that electric-powered blowers “may not be powerful enough to provide the strength necessary to adequately blow leaves.” Plus, there is the cost and maintenance of the new equipment. Residents can always go the old-fashioned route of a rake and plastic bags.

Dutch Treat: The Onderdonks In Roslyn BY JOE SCOTCHIE
jscotchie@antonmediagroup.com
I
t is impossible to imagine, but New York, once the sale of the Lenape Indians to Peter Minute took place in 1626, was a Dutch-English city. The first president from New York, Martin Van Buren, was Dutch as were both Theodore and Franklin Roosevelt. Bronx and Brooklyn are Dutch names, as is Harlem, originally Haarlem. Readers may remember Harry Van Arsdale, once a powerful union boss. Orange is the color of The Netherlands. That color makes its way into the New York City flag, the Nassau County flag, and the colors of both the New York Knickerbockers and New York Mets. Onderdonk was also a popular name in the old New York. And this family made its mark on Roslyn history. The most famous moment came in the immediate years following the Revolutionary War. The patriarch of the Onderdonk family was Hendrick Onderdonk. The latter moved to Hempstead Harbor (now Roslyn) in 1752. There he operated a large farm, a bakery for visiting sailors and a general store. With his earnings, Hendrick, in 1758, purchased a grist mill. Fifteen years later, in 1773, he constructed a paper mill. Onderdonk was the virtual proprietor of the entire village. Everyone who lived in the old

Roslyn was considered either his tenants or “workpeople.” That was just the beginning of the family drama. In 1776, the 13 colonies, including New York, declared their independence
from the British Crown. War was on. In the early years of the Revolutionary War, the Continental Army, under the generalship of George Washington, suffered serious setbacks in the New York City area, including
Long Island. The rebels regrouped in both New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Meanwhile, activity went on in Long Island. Not everyone was ready to submit to British rule. Hendrick Onderdonk had his impressive holdings. However, he was willing to put it all on the line to engage in espionage. He didn’t have to do it. If Hendrick had been caught, an ignominious death by hanging surely awaited him. The Continental Army would win key victories in New Jersey, upstate New York, North Carolina and finally, at Yorktown to win the young nation’s independence. After the war, Washington took his triumphant tour of Long Island. He stopped by the Onderdonk house to thank Hendrick

below this line
Publishing; March 1, 2022), creating a modern classic with twists and turns that even James couldn’t imagine. Smith, a multiple award-winning former New York Times reporter, uses the modern equivalent of the glittering high society setting of the Golden Age to tell the story of a father and daughter and the prince who comes between them. Set partially on Woodford Island, based on Gardiners Island off the coast of East Hampton. The Prince reconstructs the claustrophobic tension of the original while exploring the four central relationships with a fresh, modern gaze. Entangled in a complex web strung between love, duty and desire are Emily the happy, fresh-faced and rather clueless daughter of enormous wealth, and her worldlier friend, Christina, who has gotten ahead on her sense of style and stunning beauty.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Remembering William Casey I thought your article on William Casey (“William Casey: Controversial In Life and Death, The Roslyn News, Feb. 9-15) was just great. The firm I was a young lawyer with represented Prentice Hall and Mr. Casey wrote many extremely useful “how to do it” books for one of their imprints. I had a memorable experience with Mr. Casey at one of the luncheons the Union League Club used to put on. He had been the head of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) by this point. I asked him what the difference was between a CIA operative and an Office of Strategic Services (OSS) operative. To great laughter he replied that the OSS guy was a lot older. I looked embarrassed and nice guy that he was, he then complimented me on the question and answered it: he said the OSS was principally concerned with knowing what was on the trains and where they were going. To this day when my wife and I drive by his hauntingly beautiful estate which should be preserved forever I think of his kindness to the sensitive young kid that was me. Jim McGivney

New York Presidents: The Famous and The Forgotten, Part I BY JOE SCOTCHIE jscotchie@antonmediagroup.com
I
n the nation’s early years, Virginia was the nation’s most populous state. Presidents came from Old Dominion: Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, John Tyler and Zachary Taylor. With its busy port a destination for the world’s commerce, New York would replace Virginia as the most populous state. It too, would become a breeding ground for chief executives. The first New Yorker to be elected was Martin Van Buren, who had served as Andrew Jackson’s vice president. Others followed: Millard Fillmore, Chester Arthur, Grover Cleveland, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Donald Trump. In today’s New York, the upstate region is at best an afterthought. At one time, it produced presidents. Academics regularly come up with presidential rankings—first (usually Abraham Lincoln) to last (the hapless James Buchanan)—that few pay attention to. Here’s our homage to Empire State Presidents.
Millard Fillmore
As with Van Buren, Fillmore was a native of upstate New York, in this case, Cayuga County. In 1848, Mexican War hero Zachary Taylor was elected president with Millard Fillmore Fillmore as his run(public domain) ning mate. Two years later, Taylor succumbed to Washington’s humid summers and died unexpectedly at age 66. Fillmore’s presidency was marked mostly by foreign policy, especially the famed opening to Japan as conducted by Commodore Matthew Perry, one that was consummated after Fillmore left office. In 1852, Fillmore failed to win the Democratic Party’s nomination. Four years later, he attempted a comeback as standard bearer for the anti-immigration American Party. That bid fell short, too. When Civil War broke out, Fillmore,
although elderly, did not sit on the sidelines. He formed a home guard, the Union Continentals, which remained active throughout the conflict.
Chester Arthur
Arthur followed the same pattern as Van Buren and Fillmore. An upstate New York native, he served as James Garfield’s vice president. Chester Arthur Taylor died a (Charles Milton Bell/ natural death. In public domain) 1881, Garfield was assassinated by a deranged gunman, who reportedly wanted Arthur to become chief executive. Arthur, too, served only one term as president. His one term focused heavily on civil service reform as the nation now coped with a rising urban population and the bureaucratic problems such a demographic change entailed. Historian George F. Howe has singled out Arthur as an honest politician in a time of widespread corruption. “Arthur adopted [a code] for his own political behavior but subject to three restraints: he remained to everyone a man of his word; he kept scrupulously free from corrupt graft; he maintained a personal dignity, affable and genial though he might be,” Howe maintained. “These restraints ... distinguished him sharply from the stereotypical politician.”
Grover Cleveland
With Cleveland, the upstate dynasty rolls on. “Grover the Good” was born in Caldwell, NJ, but reared in Clinton, a town in Oneida County. In 1881, Cleveland was elected mayor of Buffalo as a reformer Democrat. He parlayed that success into winning the governorship of New York only a year later. Cleveland topped off his incredible run by being
Martin Van Buren (MatthewBrady/public domain)
elected president in 1884. Four years later, Cleveland was defeated by Benjamin Harrison. Undaunted, Cleveland was promptly elected again in the 1892 election. Cleveland was a Democrat in a time of Republican Party Grover Cleveland (public domain) domination. His policies were similar to GOP presidents, including trade protection, anti-immigration measures and armed neutrality. Cleveland kept government spending to a minimum, regularly wielded his veto pen. He was both the first president to marry while in the White House and the first to be captured on film.
Martin Van Buren
Van Buren was a native of little Kinderhook, an attorney turned politician who was elected president in 1836 and defeated for re-election in 1840 by William Henry Harrison. Van Buren is forgotten today, save for a high school in Queens County, but he has his fans. In a 2001 collection, Reassessing the Presidency, libertarian author Jeffrey Rogers Hummel gave “The Little Magician” high marks: He avoided potential conflicts with both Great Britain and Mexico, while resisting the impulse to increase government spending during the Panic of 1837. During Van Buren’s sole four-year term, Americans, Hummel claimed: “[Enjoyed] greater freedom from government intervention than any other people on the face of the Earth.” Check back next week for the conclusion to our overview of Empire State Commanders in Chief.

Schreiber high schools. Applications for the “virtual” competition must be received by no later than 4 p.m. (EST) on Friday, March 18. A $30 non-refundable registration fee per team applies to all entries. The NSPC HSC is available only to Nassau and Suffolk County high school teams.
In 2021, more than 420 students representing 31 Long Island high schools participated in the competition and 50 prize-winning teams shared more than $80,000 in score-based awards. To compete, teams will create a Google site and upload: 1. Images of their poster board/digital poster board or a 20-slide PowerPoint presentation; 2. An eight-minute video in which team members can be seen explaining their project and 3. All executed competition documents. Entries must be received by 4 p.m. (EST) on Monday, March 28. A “live,” in-person competition final will be held on Wednesday, May 18, at the Center for Science Teaching & Learning’s offices at 1450 Tanglewood Rd. in Rockville Centre. Student teams will be judged in one of five categories: Behavioral Sciences; Biology-Medicine/ Health; Biology-Microbiology/ Genetics; Health Related Biochemistry/Biophysics,

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR TWO VIEWS OF THE STATE OF THE UNION Two of Long Island’s congressional members released the following statements after attending President Biden’s first State of the Union address recently.
Kathleen Rice
President Biden’s address exemplifies the steady, bipartisan approach that our country needs. I am particularly grateful for this leadership as we face an international crisis. His fierce stance against Vladimir Putin and quick action in coordinating global sanctions against Russia have helped re-establish the United States as a respected power on the world stage. We have worked hard since January 2021 to enact policy that
directly benefits the American people. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act has already provided millions of dollars to New York, and I will continue working with the state and federal government to ensure that this funding goes to creating good-paying jobs, fixing our crumbling roads and bridges, and cleaning-up contaminated drinking water. While these legislative victories should be applauded, President
Biden is right to acknowledge that we have more work to do. We have made great progress rebuilding our economy, but I know that my constituents still feel the financial impact of inflation and supply chain issues. I am proud to have helped the America COMPETES Act pass the House, and we need to deliver the final version to the President’s desk to support workers and put money directly in the pockets of Americans. We must also finally pass the Fiscal
Year 2022 omnibus package that will allow President Biden to keep our government funded and to send necessary financial aid to Ukraine. Now is the time for Americans to come together. We must present a united front both internally, as we implement this legislation, and externally, as we join our global allies in combating Russia’s aggression. —Rice (D–Garden City), represents the 3rd Congressional District
crisis, rising costs and joblessness as a direct result of his failed agenda. Even after the so-called “Build Back Better” bill was rejected by Congress and the American people, he continued to call for the
passage of his progressive wish list. He failed to acknowledge many of his disastrous policies, including his ill-conceived Afghanistan withdrawal. This is a President who ran on a platform of unity, but all
he has done is divide us further. In a word, tonight’s speech was underwhelming. —Garbarino (R–Sayville) represents the 2nd Congressional District
An Ugly Legacy For Your Grandchildren BY JERRY KREMER
INSIDE POLITICS Jerry Kremer
report is an atlas of human suffering and a damning indictment of failed climate leadership. It shows how severe the impacts of human–caused global warming are becoming worldwide and how hard it will be for societies to manage if nations do not bring down greenhouse gas emissions sharply. A simpler way to say it is that we are seeing an increase in wildfires, heatwaves and rising sea levels many of which are caused by human conduct. On the issue of heat waves, it was once thought that if temperatures did not exceed 3.6 degrees
Fahrenheit, the planet would be spared of any serious fallout. That doesn’t sound like a lot to a family in Levittown, but in places like Alaska a higher year-round temperature could lead to massive die-off of trees, drying of bogs, massive fires and a thawing of the permafrost that releases more carbon dioxide into the air, all conditions that are impossible to stop. Another threat to future generations is the current political makeup of the U.S. Supreme Court. The court is currently considering whether the federal Environmental Protection Agency has the power to dictate regulations that protect the public from industrial and energy industry activities that add to global warming. During arguments before the court, Justice Samuel A. Alito, Jr., skeptical of climate change warnings, said it was a “... phenomenon which some people believe is a matter of civilizational survival.” The court will more than likely void a whole series of regulations meant to protect future generations. Unlike the politicians and jurists who have no time to read up on the subject of climate change,

There is a Lutheran Church in my neighborhood that is tiny compared to the large buildings surrounding it. Walking by recently, I noticed a poster whose contents captured my attention and I took a photo of it. The posting states "The ultimate test of a moral society is the kind of world that it leaves to its children.” It attributes the quote to Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a Lutheran theologian who was hanged because of his opposition to the Nazi regime. I thought about Bonhoeffer’s comments when I read portions of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a body of experts convened by the United Nations. They have released the most comprehensive report on the threats posed by global warming by any major environmental organization. The report concludes that nations are not doing enough to protect cities, farms and coastal regions from the hazards that climate change has already unleashed. The report was written by 270 researchers from 67 countries with the approval of 195 countries. According to UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, the

Vacation Envy “Hot fun in the summer sun”... That’s what we all want. Vacations are the reason we work, running a close second behind money. These days, with remote working, I sit in front of two monitors and listen to disgruntled customers from the comfort of my apartment. No more driving 35 miles round trip, five days a week, on chewed-up highways to enter an office and incur a brutal onslaught of inconsiderate co-workers that eat fish at their desk and never shut up. With that said, remote work is still work and you need vacations. Until that Friday afternoon when an anvil dropped on my computer. I received notice from the boss I used to respect alerting me those valuable days were canceled for the rest of the year. No solid reason given. Some cost cutting, all nonsense, garbage rhetoric. What I didn’t need in addition to my vacation days washed away by a corporate tsunami was to receive “fun in the sun’ pictures from friends vacationing while watching the snow pile up outside my door. The photos arrived via email
LONG ISLAND STORIES Thomas Kuntzmann
from a friend of mine showing himself and another friend who, like myself, are sitting. One small difference. The boys are kicking back in beach chairs, wearing smiles like they’re auditioning for a toothpaste ad. Each picture showed the Atlantic Ocean in the background and a plate full of of shrimp hogging the foreground. The guys have their arms raised in a toast, one gripping a Bloody Mary the other some Topazcolored drink. Expecting me to return the toast is like them suddenly getting hit by a blizzard and me receiving a heat wave. Anyway, strapped with the news
about the vacation days coupled with my own self-pity of being chained to my desk, I deleted the pictures from my ex-friends. What can I say? It was a gut reaction. Yes, childish and out of character for me. I’m a fun guy and as dependable as they come. I’m willing to drive you to the airport for a 6 a.m. flight needing only gas money and dinner for a week. Under normal circumstances, seeing others enjoying life through their lame vacation shots doesn’t bring me to my knees. I have too much respect for my time. After an hour of envy and then self-reflection, I realized the pettiness of the situation and dug through the trash folder where I store important documents. Finding the pictures, I checked them out more closely, along with some new ones showing them now getting friendly with two attractive blondes. I threw my head back and laughed now feeling their joy. Good for them. These guys are in the position of having the time to go enjoy themselves. Hey, I admit I’d do the same by showing the world what I look like in a bathing suit, spilling drinks
and gouging shrimp. But I should make this last crucial point. Even though I can handle it, cut me some slack and don’t send me your good-time pictures while I’m struggling to get through a brutal day full of complaints. Am I right? Not a big deal. Just use some discretion when gloating. Then again, why don’t you keep sending those incredibly fun-loving photos? I need a good laugh. Like the two blonds in the most recent pictures. I noticed they looked like the waitress who served the topaz-colored cocktails in the first set of pictures. Not two women cruising the beach that my buddies corralled because
of their dynamic personalities. Needing to get back to work, I sent the boys a quick response saying I saw through their deception of being the “king gigolos” of the beach. Also, that’s Miami where they were dropping a wad of cash. Want to impress me? Let’s see some pics from a locale worth talking about like an international vacation in the Spanish Pyrenees mountains.

CALIFORNIA CLOSETS from page 3B We recently spoke with Debra Russo, a designer with the California Closet team here on Long Island about the market trends and how the pandemic has helped people recognize the need to reshape their living spaces. “We do so much more than just closets, we do Murphy beds, home offices, entertainment units, bars and so much more now,” Russo said. “We have done so many home offices in recent years; the new term is cloffice–a fusion of a walk-in closet and a home office.” The idea is not new, however; thanks to the pandemic-prompted work-fromhome explosion, the term looks to be a mainstream design topic on social media sites like Pinterest. “I’ve noticed a shift in consumption, in what people are buying,” Russo said. “People aren’t really doing much fast fashion; people are trying to be a little more minimal, spending money on better, quality items, but fewer of them. And I am seeing a lot of ‘capsule wardrobes’ too.” A capsule wardrobe is a term used in American publications as early as the 1940s to describe a small collection of garments designed to be worn together. The clothing collection, for instance, might have six items in total (a skirt, a blouse, a T-shirt, a blazer, a pullover sweater and a pair of pants), but mixed and matched strategically can produce 30 different outfits. “People are letting go of a lot of things and really making their closets more of a sanctuary,” Russo said. “They are starting to see the value of their closets as extended living space.” She said that homeowners are incorporating Murphy beds into their walk-in closets; a lot of people are converting guest rooms into walk-in closets and also adding an office into the same space. “We can make custom built-ins like cabinetry for your clothes if you don’t want someone feeling like they are sleeping in your closet,” Russo said. “We can put doors over hanging clothes to create a wall and a wall-bed on the other wall.” Do these conversions take away from the value of your home? “If the home is lacking storage, a conversion will not decrease the home’s value,” said Russo. “Also, our systems are modular; you can take it completely apart, in fact some people take it apart and take it with them to their new home.” If you sell your home and the new owners decide they want to convert the space back into a bedroom, it all comes apart; California Closets does offer a service to help return a space to its original state. Without a lot of forethought or creativity, Russo said people were calling at the beginning of the pandemic asking for a desk to be built adjacent to their bed. With the help of their design team, they were able to identify more productive
California Closets’ Seville design spaces throughout the house for a home office to be built. “One of the things I see the most on Long Island in new and existing homes is lack of storage. It seems like for a lot of contractors who build homes, the closets are an afterthought,” Russo said. “They put in a standard shelf and pole, which does nothing for anyone. Things do not have a proper place. When you open the closet doors and everything comes tumbling out, shoes are piled all over the floor.” She said Long Island homes are missing proper homes for belongings, especially in pantries. “You are missing slide-out drawers for things like onions and potatoes; you are missing adjustable shelving for appliances and canned goods; everything is a different size,” Russo said. She said the trend in new construction seems to be to create a smaller primary bedroom, but to make the primary closets larger, keeping furniture minimal inside the bedroom (bed, nightstand, TV). All of the furniture and things (dressers, hampers, shoes) go inside the closet. This
4B | DESIGN & DÉCOR • MARCH 16 - 22, 2022
concept lends to better energy in the living spaces. “I see people waste so much money on fun containers and bins; think about how much money you’re putting into these organizing accessories,” Russo said. “It’s going to save you so much money in the long run; I have seen people spend $1,000 on bins. A new closet would have cost you $600.” Today, California Closets has 120 showrooms and more than 700 designers across North America.

An open concept is nice, but some people still want semi-privacy in some spaces.
Nature Meets Living: Trends 2022 Making space naturally comfortable BY GREG LANZA
specialsections@antonmediagroup.com
Design trends in any decade are typically defined by the halfway point of that timeline. Two years ago, 2020, caused a different scenario and forced changes as we adapted to pandemic living.
T
his brings us to our first trend—redefining spaces. Less used dining rooms and living rooms have turned into offices and Zoom rooms. Dual-purpose rooms have been on-trend for years. An office/guest room with pullout bed is common in many homes, but many have turned their living rooms into offices, libraries and studies, often adding a small dining table for intimate fireside dinners. A guest room stylishly outfitted with a large mirror and Peloton is an inviting amenity for guests not wanting to miss their daily routine. Why not? It’s 2022 and almost anything goes. As nice as the open concept is for main spaces, some people may want semi-private areas. I don’t think the trend will disappear as it does increase visual space and brings families together as you can multitask and oversee everyone. We had been forced to slow down and spend time in our homes and neighborhoods. This has affected our moods and creativity. Gardens flourished and kitchens were filled with the aroma of new recipes, which brings us to the return of handcrafted items. DIYs created elaborate macramé wall hangings, crafts and artwork. It’s a return to comfort and decor that makes us feel at ease. Colors in this category are those that fuel our well-being:
earth and nature tones of brown and green. The trend for emerald and daring green hues feels more natural than ever. I envision the return of the leather sofa, not in black but in a saddle or cognac to pair with pure white or ecru walls. Grey now seems like a space capturing all the light that it can on a rainy day. Nature leads to organic shapes and the curved furniture trend. Think mushroom shapes in cream, tan and brown, like the futuristic 1950s upholstery shapes of Miami Beach but in a deep forest or desert color palate. Deep, softer shaped seating with rounded arms or at least soft squared off ones. Bringing the outdoors in is on trend with natural, raw, porous, textured materials and yes, tumbled marble, terracotta, limestone and travertine will be making a comeback. Lighting fixtures incorporating rope, wood, wicker, shells and coconut beads and fragments are part of this trend for the organic home. Wallpaper in color and pattern will be on trend in nature-related themes, and eventually so will the ancient, distressed wall, Venetian plaster, etc. As for color, I am known for my sophisticated neutral palette and sublime use of color. I love

LIVING TRENDS from page 6B color combinations, but not individual colors per se. Color will be more vibrant in acid greens and medium-toned blues taking center stage. I sense metallic accents of gold and silver will be replaced with a touch of black which adds a level of sophistication to any room.

February 8, 2022 by Matt Paxton and Jordan Michael Smith America’s top cleaning expert and star of the hit series Legacy List with Matt Paxton distills his fail-proof approach to decluttering and downsizing.
Updated 8th Edition For more than 15 years, BLACK+DECKER The Complete Guide to Wiring has been the best-selling home wiring manual in North America. With this 8th edition, get the clearest, most up-to-date advice available.
Your boxes of photos, family’s china, and even the kids’ height charts aren’t just stuff; they’re attached to a lifetime of memories and letting them go can be scary. With empathy, expertise and humor, Keep the Memories, Lose the Stuff, written in collaboration with AARP, helps you sift through years of clutter, let go of what no longer serves you and identify the items worth keeping so that you can focus on living in the present. For more than 20 years, Paxton has helped people from all walks of life who want to live more simply, declutter and downsize. As a featured cleaner on Hoarders and host of the Emmy-nominated Legacy List with Matt Paxton on PBS, he has identified the psychological roadblocks that most organizational experts routinely miss but
that prevent so many of us from lightening our material load. Using poignant stories from the thousands of individuals and families he has worked with, Paxton brings his signature insight to a necessary task.
As the most current wiring book on the market, you can be confident that your projects will meet national wiring codes. You’ll also spend more time on your project and less time scratching your head thanks to more than 800 clear color photos and more than 40 diagrams that show you exactly what you need to know about home electrical service; all the most common circuits, all the most-needed techniques, all the most essential tools and materials. The information in this book has been created and reviewed by professional electricians under the watchful eye of the experts at BLACK+DECKER. You can find plenty of articles and videos about wiring online or in other
publications, but only The Complete Guide to Wiring has passed the rigorous test to make it part of the best DIY series from the brand you trust.

The home has a picturesque outdoor entertainment space and equipped with Fido’s Fences. It is zoned for membership at the East Hills pool and park district, located in the Roslyn School District. This home is close to houses of worship.
New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Commissioner Basil Seggos announced the launch of the annual “Look for the Zero” public awareness campaign to encourage homeowners to go phosphorus-free when using lawn fertilizer. Consumers should review bag labels for phosphorus content when shopping for fertilizer. Fertilizer labels have three numbers and the number in the middle is the percentage of phosphorus in the product, such as: 22-0-15. More than 100 water bodies in New York cannot be used or enjoyed because of phosphorus overuse. The nutrient runoff law prohibits the use of phosphorus fertilizers unless a new lawn is being established or a soil test shows the lawn does not have enough phosphorus. Only newly established lawns or those with poor soil need phosphorus. Excess phosphorus from lawns can wash off and pollute lakes and streams, harming fish, pets or people that use these waters for recreating and a source of revenue for towns that must close beaches or boating areas. State law requires retailers to post signs notifying customers of the terms of the law and to display phosphorus fertilizer separately from phosphorus-free fertilizer. DEC is encouraging homeowners to practice more sustainable lawn care and choose native plants and grasses, which are adapted to the local climate and soil conditions. These plant species provide nectar, pollen
and seeds that serve as food for native butterflies, insects, birds, and other animals. Organic lawn care can easily be implemented on any lawn and safe and effective alternatives exist for most chemical pesticides and fertilizers. Recommendations for sustainable lawn care include spreading a quarter inch of compost on the lawn to improve moisture retention and soil texture and add beneficial microorganisms and nutrients. Allow grass to grow to three inches and then cut no more than one inch off the top. The “one-third” rule helps develop a deeper root system, which is a natural defense against weeds, disease and drought. Leave lawn clippings after mowing to improve the health of the lawn. Clippings are 80 percent water and contain two to four percent nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other nutrients. Leaving clippings saves homeowners time after mowing and reduces the amount of garbage. Grass clippings can account for as much as 10 percent of garbage. —DEC

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Keeping to yourself is easy, though it’s not what’s best for you. Socializing grows you in all sorts of unanticipated ways.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Selfishness causes conflicts. Get to the bottom of it by trying to understand what exactly it is that people want. It’s often not what they say or even what they think they want. You’ll sense how people are feeling and what they might be lacking. You can help get everyone on the same page, working together with aligned goals. CANCER (June 22-July 22). It’s exciting to watch people doing things. It’s not fun at all to watch people looking at screens. This is why the most attractive people are the ones who have at least a few hobbies that do not involve a computer. This week you’ll cultivate talents outside the digital world to stellar effect.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your mind is a beautiful vehicle that can go where other vehicles cannot. You can visit dreams, go back and forth in time and rehearse experiences you’d like to have. The world you create in your imagination will influence the real world. The weekend brings luck for finding new treasures; you’ll add to a collection. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Good communication isn’t something you can set up and then ignore; it needs to be maintained. In the weeks to come you will open and strengthen various lines of communication. This week brings new people into your realm. Start building trust. These ties have the potential to enrich you in untold ways. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your attractions will drive you even when they are not at the front of your mind. Sometimes you will have to remind yourself what excites and delights you. Describe the moment when your passion ignited, and you will feel it flicker anew. The color of the fire may have changed, but it still burns just as hot. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). According to Shakespeare, brevity is the soul of wit. According to Dorothy Parker, brevity is the soul of lingerie. And according to this week, brevity is the soul of pleasure, as too much of any good thing will be a terrible thing. In moderation will be delight. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your mind is skeptical of gut feelings. Your instincts come from a mysterious place your mind has never visited and doubts exists. However, more often than not, the wisdom that comes from the center of your being is right. No matter how illogical a notion may seem, give some credence to what feels right. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You believe in equality, and you treat everyone with the same respect. However, you also recognize that people have different needs, expectations and preferences. You’ll pull off something amazing this week. You’ll cater to people specifically yet still uphold the ethos of equality.
THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS
You’ll make something that matters with someone you care about. In the process, you’ll exchange little pieces of your soul. Love is collaboration. Collaboration is love. When it works with a person or a group of people, keep going with the same team. The work gets easier, and the magic gets deeper. An advanced training will prove worth the price of admission. You’ll grow your skills and financial potential. Well-managed money will bring more freedom to you and yours.

Pass 4♣ Pass 5 NT(!!) Pass 7♥ Opening lead — king of spades. Without an explanation, the bidding by North on this deal suggests that he may have taken leave of his senses, but nobody would criticize the final contract, which is laydown. It just goes to show that crazy-looking bids can be very successful, even though they don’t mean what they seem to say. A number of years ago, some genius (according to the Official Encyclopedia of Bridge, it was Dorothy Hayden Truscott) came up with the idea that a jump-shift
response one level higher than necessary indicates a void or a singleton in the suit bid, adequate support for partner’s last-bid suit and sufficient values for at least a game, with a potential for slam opposite a fitting hand. That accounts for North’s three-spade bid, commonly called a “splinter bid.” Certainly the North hand is ideally suited for such a convention. The moment partner opens one heart, North should start thinking in terms of a slam. From North’s viewpoint, the key to the slam is South’s holding in spades and clubs. South could have spade strength and three club losers, or, ideally, club strength and three spade losers. The three-spade bid thus encourages South, who has no wasted values in spades, to cooperate by cuebidding the ace of clubs. North is delighted to hear this bid, leaving South’s trump holding the only question remaining to be resolved. Accordingly, North next invokes the “grand slam force” convention by leaping to five notrump. This commands South to bid seven hearts if he holds two of the top three trump honors. So South dutifully bids the grand slam, with full confidence that North has not gone completely berserk.

ONDERDONK from page 6 for his service and to spend the night. Washington, who prided himself on a simple, but effective prose style, duly recorded his visit to Roslyn. “Passed Musquito cove and breakfast’s at a Mr. Onderdonk’s, at the head of a little bay. Were kindly received and well entertained. This gentleman works a grist mill and two paper mills. The two last he seems to work with spirit and profit.” Hendrick Onderdonk died in 1809. The family carried on. The homeplace was now at 1405 Old Northern Blvd. It was constructed in 1797 by Andries Onderdonk, Hendrick’s son. “Toward the close of the last century my Uncle Andrew (Andries) built the house now occupied by Mr. Hicks,” the Right Reverend Benjamin Treadwell Onderdonk noted in an 1851 letter. “He had removed into it, but before it was finished in 1797, he died of yellow fever in Brooklyn. It remained unoccupied, except by a family in the kitchen, and by my father’s family, one or two yellow fever sessions, until 1800 or 1801, when my grandfather removed to it, having sold his property on the West side of the harbor and his Mills.” According to a Roslyn Landmark Society brochure, the house “represents the high point of the early Federal style in Roslyn. Even by late 18th century standards, it would have been considered a commodious and comfortable residence. Today, the Onderdonk house does not look very different than it did when first built and in surveying the exterior, one cannot help but be impressed by its fine, early Federal

detail and its superb proportions. “After Hendrick Onderdonk’s death in 1809, the Dutch Reformed Congregation of Oyster Bay purchased the property as a parsonage in 1813,” the brochure continued. “Although there was no Dutch Reformed Church in Roslyn, the village was mid-way between the churches at Lake Success and Wolver Hollow and since the same dominie served several congregations, a parsonage in the village seemed appropriate. In 1838, William Hicks purchased Andries Onderdonk’s house and started an extensive lumber yard on the surrounding property. In 1891,
the house was sold to Eugene Conklin, a member of the firm of Conklin, Tubby and Conklin that purchased the lumber yard in 1909. The house remained in the Conklin family until after World War II.” What has remained a constant is the appreciation for the grand history behind the house.

Science Students Create Elaborate Roller Coasters Seventh-grade students at Roslyn Middle School designed and constructed elaborate paper roller coasters—part of a lesson about energy transformation. Working in groups, students were tasked with building roller coasters that transformed potential energy into kinetic energy with gravity acting on a marble. A total of 75 roller coasters were constructed. Students had a chance to view each other’s work during a two-day science carnival—held February 16-17. Each coaster had a creative theme, such as: Ride the Wave, The HeartBreak Tower, and The Four Seasons. Students sent marbles down each rollercoaster to test their construction, then voted for three top spots. Prizes were given as follows: Most Thrilling The Bird House: created by Claire Kim, Vivian Lin, Jasmine Wang, and Nicoletta Babic. Most Creative The Tree of Dreams: created by Sydney
Paper Roller Coaster Carnival Gerber, Courtney Liu, Carina Dai, and Annabelle Luty. Most Likely to be Built at Six Flags The Abandoned: created by Mara Schwartz, Blake Anscher, Abigail Cohen, and Riley Ritchie. “It was an incredible experience
watching the students build their roller coasters from the ground up,” said science teacher Ali Sparaco, who planned the lesson with fellow science teachers Jenna Ruber, Hanna Greenfield, Annmarie Covino, and Brian Hoffner. “The students took the concepts they learned in class and really brought
them to life. They were also very excited to see all the designs that their classmates came up with. As their teacher I couldn’t be any prouder and I wouldn’t be surprised if we had a future roller coaster engineer in our school.” ---Submitted by the Roslyn School District

When Irish Pols Were Smiling BY JOE SCOTCHIE

rish Americans in the New York area, the columnist Jimmy Breslin declared decades ago, had become “just another face in a suburban shopping mall.” The columnist clearly was unhappy that the sons and daughters of Erin had left the five boroughs for both suburbia and the state of Florida, apparently leaving Breslin alone to fend for himself in New York City. That aside, New York politics and especially its police departments, were once very much an Irish thing. The story of Irish immigration into the U.S. has been told countless times. If the United States is a nation of immigrants, then 1840, the year that a potato famine drove Irish refugees to America, is the starting point. Prior to that, immigration was confined to the British Isles. On the heels of 1840 came the European revolutions of 1848. Now immigrants came from central Europe, especially Germany and Scandinavia. In 1875, the Supreme Court ruled that immigration was now a national issue. Prior to that, the states decided matters of immigration and citizenship. By then, Ellis Island immigration was in full
Jimmy Walker swing, lasting that way until restrictive laws were passed in both 1921 and 1924. That led to a lull in immigration, which lasted until 1965. Immigration since then has been mostly from Asia and Latin America, creating today’s

multicultural nation. The Irish had their day in the sun. In John Dos Passos’s 1925 novel, Manhattan Transfer, an old stock New Yorker casually remarks that New York politics were now dominated by the Irish, while the legal
profession was heavily Jewish. Thomas F. Gilroy was the first Irishborn mayor of New York. The man who defined New York politics in the Roaring ‘20s was Jimmy Walker. A native of Greenwich Village, Walker’s parents

emigrated to America from County Kilkenny. The man climbed the greasy ladder, serving as both a state assemblyman and state senator before being elected mayor in 1925. The man and the moment had met. New York boomed during the 1920s. Buildings went up at a dizzying rate. Bulls ran wild on Wall Street. Walker presided over that gaudy era with great humor and showmanship. Walker had to share the stage with Babe Ruth. When the Babe suffered an off year in 1925, feuding with manager Miller Huggins while the team floundered, Walker rode to the rescue. At an off-season banquet, Walker implored the uncouth slugger to think of all the “dirty-faced” youth that the Babe had let down. The emotional plea worked. A repentant Ruth promised Walker that he would enter spring training in top shape. That he did and the Bombers resumed their winning ways. Walker was not the only Irish pol to strike a path through that decade. Al Smith made a larger mark, famously rising from the Lower East Side to the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination. The product of an Irish-Italian union, Smith had been elected governor in 1918. In 1928, he prevailed as the Democrats’ presidential nominee at that year’s hotly contested party convention. For millions of Americans, a dreaded Papal takeover of their nation beckoned. Smith, for his part, ran as a fairly
conservative Democrat. A product of Ellis Island, he promised that if elected, he would cut-off further immigration into the country. The 1920s boom roared on. As did the Republican Party’s hold on the presidency. Herbert Hoover was elected president. Smith soon became disillusioned with the Democratic Party of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal. He gave speeches denouncing its big spending ways and was treated as a pariah by his own party. The Al Smith Dinner, a yearly gala that hosts presidential candidates, revives the man’s name for future generations. Things also ended badly for Jimmy Walker. In 1932, he resigned from office once it was revealed he received money from businessmen looking for city contracts. In 1946, William O’Dwyer was elected mayor. He celebrated his inauguration by singing “It’s Great Day for the Irish.” The postwar boom was on and the man seemed uniquely situated for greater things. O’Dwyer, too, was felled by corruption. In 1950, a police corruption scandal rocked the city. O’Dwyer resigned his office. Undaunted, his supporters held a ticker tape parade for the man in downtown Manhattan. He later served as U.S. Ambassador to Mexico. In the 1960s, the thoughtful Daniel Patrick Moynihan emerged on the scene. A product of Hell’s Kitchen, Moynihan started out as a conventional New
Deal-Great Society Democrat. He worked in both the Kennedy and Johnson White House. In a surprise move, Moynihan stayed on to serve in the administration of Richard Nixon. He made the news by penning a memo advising “benign neglect” on the problems facing black Americans. Moynihan---and Nixon---wanted to turn down the temperature from the boiling 1960s. Moynihan was attacked on the left. The man, however, found allies on the right, a position he enjoyed further as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. There, the outspoken Moynihan spearheaded the opposition to that body’s notorious “Zionism as racism” resolution, one that was later overturned. Moynihan soon parlayed his fame into a successful 1976 U.S. Senate run. He served in the upper chamber for 24 years, yielding in the late 1990s to Hillary Clinton’s 2000 run.

Moynihan was also a public intellectual. Numerous books rolled off his typewriter, including the popular Beyond the Melting Pot, which he co-authored with Nathan Glazer. Later books included A Dangerous Place, a memoir of his time at the UN, and Pandaemonium, a gloomy view of a world dominated by identity politics, one antithetical to the man’s hope for liberal democracy. Is Breslin right? Have the Irish disappeared as an ethnic group? Kathy Hochul, the state’s current chief executive, is of Irish descent, but it isn’t central to her political identity as much as her liberal politics, which blend neatly into the state’s dominant ideology.

The Man Who Knew Too Much BY JOE SCOTCHIE
jscotchie@antonmediagroup.com
T
he war in Ukraine has sparked a modest interest in the late American diplomat, George Kennan. A native of Wisconsin, Kennan graduated from Princeton University in 1928 and began a long career as a civil servant in both the U.S. Foreign Service and the U.S. State Department. Fluent in several foreign languages, Kennan, in 1933, joined the U.S. Embassy in the Soviet Union. Kennan spoke Russian and could address a crowd in that language. He also held an intimate knowledge of Russian history and culture and even had plans to write a book on Anton Chekhov, that nation’s famed short story writer. Kennan’s fame was achieved with the publication of his 1946 “long telegram,” one entitled, “Sources of Soviet Conduct,” authored by “Mr. X.” The essay spoke of both Russian paranoia and Russian aggression. It became the framework of the containment policy that informed postwar American foreign policy in Europe, one that resulted in the 1949 formation of the North American Treaty Organization (NATO). Kennan advised that containment be geared more towards economic and political measures rather than military ones. For decades, he complained that the telegram had been misunderstood. Kennan was not a pacifist. When North Korea invaded South Korea in 1950, Kennan called for a swift and decisive American military response. In 1951, his knowledge of Russian came in handy again. That year, the war was going badly for the United States. Kennan advised that the United States secure South Korea, but not go into North Korea. When General Douglas MacArthur did send troops north, they were met by Chinese forces, a surprise attack that sent Marines retreating southward. Kennan was called in from his farm in Pennsylvania to lend assistance. He promptly spent several one-on-one sessions with Jacob Malik, the Soviet ambassador to the U.S., all in a bid for Soviet assistance. Since Moscow at that time was significantly more powerful than China, the Soviets’ leverage helped to bring about an armistice that ended the Korean War, even though fighting would still take place until 1953. Kennan stayed active in foreign service, serving as U.S. Ambassador to the Soviet Union and later, to Yugoslavia. After his retirement, he settled at Princeton University’s Institute for Advanced Studies, where he was a
George Kennan colleague of Albert Einstein and where he began a prolific writing career, including a two-volume memoir and volumes of European history. Kennan is the only American to win both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award twice. In the early 1980s, he resurfaced to bitterly oppose the military buildup of the Reagan Administration and any notion that a nuclear war could be “winnable.” When the Cold War ended, a whole new phase of Kennan’s career began. The ending of the Cold War came with controversy. Did the United States promise the Soviet Union it would not expand NATO eastward? Or did that organization begin an “open doors” policy to prospective members? By the late 1990s, debate over NATO expansion took place. Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic applied for, and received, NATO membership. The opposition was spearheaded by Senators Sam Nunn (D—GA) and Paul Wellstone
(D---MIN) and outside of politics by Susan Eisenhower, daughter of the 34th president, the libertarian CATO Institute, former presidential candidate Patrick J. Buchanan and Kennan himself. “I think it is the beginning of a new cold war,” he told Thomas Friedman of The New York Times in an interview that Friedman alluded to in a recent column. “I think the Russians will gradually react quite adversely and it will affect their policies. I think it is a tragic mistake. There was no reason for this whatsoever. No one was threatening anybody else. This expansion would make the Founding Fathers of this country turn over in their graves. “We have signed up to protect a whole series of countries, even though we have neither the resources nor the intention to do so in any serious way. [NATO expansion] was simply a lighthearted action by a Senate that has no real interest in foreign affairs. What bothers me is how superficial and ill-informed
the whole Senate debate was. I was particularly bothered by the references to Russia as a country dying to attack Western Europe. “Don’t people understand?” he asked. “Our differences in the Cold War were with the Soviet Communist regime. And now we are turning our backs on the very people who mounted the greatest bloodless revolution in history to remove that Soviet regime. And Russia’s democracy is as far advanced, if not farther, as any of these countries we’ve just signed up to defend from Russia. Of course there is going to be a bad reaction from Russia, and then (the NATO expanders) will say that we always told you that is how the Russians are — but this is just wrong.” And so, Kennan predicted the current bloodshed, even though it is certain he would have opposed the invasion of Ukraine. By 2022, Kennan’s world had long disappeared. The Soviet Union is no more and today’s China is ten times as wealthy and powerful as Russia. Kennan died in 2005 at age 101. His dire predictions came true well before this winter. In 2008, Russia invaded Georgia, annexed its South Ossetia and Abkhazia provinces, all to prevent that nation’s ascension to NATO. In 2014, another Russian invasion took place in Crimea, a Ukrainian province also annexed by Russia. Crimea is an ethnic Russian-majority province. As of this writing, Russian President Vladimir Putin has attempted to subdue the entire 44 million-strong nation, all with predictable results as the Ukrainian people are fighting back like tigers. Kennan remained prolific, publishing a signature volume, Around the Cragged Hill in 1995. His views were increasingly pessimistic as he divided the world into “monster nations,” such as the United States, China, Brazil, Russia and Brazil all that he saw little hope for. Kennan opposed the 2003 Iraq War. Kennan warned his fellow Americans that man is a “broken vessel.” Nations are no different. He further isolated himself with a restrictionist view on immigration. He maintained that large-scale immigration legal and illegal, a problem he declared to be insoluble, was certain to bring about the end of the United States. In Around The Cragged Hill, Kennan claimed that for the sake of young people he did not wish to spread despair. Still, his views on the American future were bereft of any optimism.
